S.I.D.

Neat game. I included it in my compilation video series of all of the GM48 games, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/UEdGTFt7opw

Please please please look up ghost jumping and implement that into all future platformer games you guys make.

Gave up because of the jump + text box getting in the way (and the fact that it repeats the same things), but the music was very good!

Ay! So, first of all, the controls feel rather weird. You jump pretty vertically and don't get enough momentum, at first. You needing powerups to jump "normally" feels a bit strange cause it's either you jump high, eitheer you jump far (cause you go so fast). I'd say the issue, for me, is that the drugs are miles away from your initial speed (the jump is okay, but again, too vertical). It feels even stranger in the last level where you alternate speed; what made that part difficult for me was that more than anything else. Second, the text box seem to scale the text in a weird manner (they're "half pixels") and i don't think it should be so low rez since the rest of the game is much higher rez.

That said, pretty immersive! It's nice that it has a story and that you have some kind of goal. I think the cliffhanger at the end is a pretty nice touch! ...too bad it's kinda ruined by the game restarting xD I think it would have worked way better if the game just closed when you touch the beam!

The story and music give i nice atmospere, controls are a bit hard to master. The elevator part is really cool :)

On my laptop with a 1366x768 resolution the game ran distorted (flat) so reading the textbox was really hard, also a part of the screen was cutted.

Nice feel and sound but text box should probably be moved to avoid interfering with game play but it sounds like you might have that sorted already. I'd also look at alternatives for the type face in the text boxes, it was a little hard to read.

The thumbnail and the intro of the game set up a good mood.

However, I got discouraged when I started playing the game. The text box covers the platforms and it takes a while to disappear. It doesn't help either that the game lags (not sure if it's only for me).

Aside from that, I do love the music and the art. The vibes that they bring match pretty well.

I ended up giving up partway through because of the stiff jumping. The atmosphere was great (especially the music!), but the amount of text (particularly when it blocks the platforms you need to jump on) was a little much.

I love the idea behind the story even if it's not the most original one, you managed to make a really immersive experience despite the kinda basic controls and duration of the game, mostly thanks to the dialogue and music (which I really liked).

Overall a solid entry.

The visuals, dialogue and music all set up a great atmosphere for the game. It's just a shame it's so short that there isn't much payoff for the cool style. It's not like the game that's there is bad or anything - the controls feel nice and the base mechanics are solid - I just wish there was more of it. Sacrificing health to get power-ups seems like a cool concept and a good use of the theme, but again the length of the game means you barely get to see the concept used before it's over.

TL;DR What's here is cool, but I wish it was longer.

The music and story were good for setting the mood of the game, but sometimes the text got in the way of platforms and took a while to finish so I could see where I was jumping. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to finish the game, because some of the jumps were just too difficult for me.
